Learning English through music and songs! (Ringo)
Lyrics
They lie in boothills all through the West
The outlaws, the gunslingers
The Billy the Kids, and worse
Say a fella like the coward
That shot Bill Hickock in the back
There's always one like that in every time of history
Most of them were varmints
But every once in a while in one of them
There may have lived
A man
He lay ____ down in the desert sand
Clutching his six-___ in his hand
Shot from behind, I thought he was dead
But under his ____ was an ounce of lead
But a _____ still burned so I used my knife
And late that _____ I saved the life of Ringo
I nursed him 'til the _____ passed
The _____ went by, he mended fast
And then from dawn 'til setting sun
He ______ with that deadly gun
And hour on hour I watched in awe
No ______ being could match the draw of Ringo
One day we rode the mountain ____
And I went _____, and he went West
I took to ____ and wore a _____
While he spread terror near and far
With lead and blood he gained such _____
All through the West they feared the ____ of Ringo
I knew ______ I'd face the ____
Which one of us would be the best
And sure enough the word came down
That he was holed up in the _____
I left the posse out in the street
And I went in _____ to meet Ringo
They said my _____ was next to none
But my ______ draw had just begun
When I heard a blast that stung my _____
The gun went flying from my _____
And I was _____ down the bore
Of the deadly 44 of Ringo
They say that was the only time
That anyone had seen him _____
He slowly lowered his gun and then
He said to me "We're even, friend"
And so at last I ________
That there was still a spark of good in Ringo
I blocked the path of his retreat
He _____ and stepped into the street
A dozen guns spit fire and lead
A moment later, he lay ____
The town began to shout and cheer
Nowhere was there shed a tear for Ringo
The story spread throughout the land
That I had ____ Ringo's hand
And it was just the years, they say
That made me put my _____ away
But on his _____ they can't explain
The tarnished star above the name of Ringo
